Property code: OC-1250

Light, bright and full of character, this cottage is perfectly suited to families looking to take a break on the Norfolk Broads. With a charming, neutral colour palette throughout, this cosy property ensures a place to relax and recuperate with your loved ones around you. Make the most of your time in the Broads by taking a boat trip from Wroxham (3 miles) to see the sights from the water, an experience which will be loved by those of all ages and also welcomes dogs aboard.

At the heart of the ground floor is the open-plan living room/diner with cool tones on the feature walls and comfortable seating for all in the form of two sofas and an armchair. Through the large archway, you’ll find the traditional dining room with seating for six to gather for mealtimes. When it’s time to fix up a feast, the kitchen has everything you’ll need with a skylight allowing natural light to fill the room. There is also a bathroom on the ground floor with a shower overhead. Upstairs is a beautiful family bedroom furnished with a double and a single bed beneath the vaulted ceiling and plenty of room for children to play. Finally, a double room completes the space with matching furniture and lovely decor.

The Broadland village of Salhouse is a charming village with opportunities to canoe, kayak and boat on the Broads, as well as an array of picturesque walking trails of varying difficulty. Children will be enchanted by the magic of BeWILDerwood (5 miles) with treehouse adventures, fun in the forest and plenty of opportunities to get active in the fairytale setting. For a day at the seaside, Sea Palling Beach is 14 miles away and great for families with its calm waters and miles of soft sand to enjoy come rain or shine.

Well laid out with a spacious hallway, and a good amount of storage space in the bedrooms. Easy access to Norwich and the Broads.

Good location; we were visiting with 2 dogs and there are plenty of walks nearby (e.g. Salhouse Broad). Close to the coast and Norwich. The cottage is clean, warm and cosy.

The cottage was in a good location. Walking distance from sailhouse broad and a short drive to the sea and other places on the broads. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely stay there again

This cottage is in a great location to Salhouse Broad and for exploring Norfolk. It was clean with good equipment, dishwasher, iron and board, hoover, washing machine, etc, plus some games and books and a very useful information folder about the property and local area. Indoors is a cozy space, we found pleasant for a week, but there's very little Read moreoutdoor space and the small yard feels very enclosed and smaller than it appears in pictures, not great for children or dogs but you do have the fabulous surroundings.

We felt welcome from the moment we arrived with the thoughtful treats left for us by the owners. This cottage is like a tardis and although looks small from the roadside, was lovely, bright and spacious inside. It was spotlessly clean with very effective dishwasher and washing machine to make self catering as easy as possible. The cottage is superbRead morely equipped and had everything we needed throughout our weeks stay. The location is great, with the conveniences of Norwich and beauty of the Broads close by. Lovely pubs for evening meals in Coltishall. There is a lovely shop and cafe right next door and it was lovely to be able to indulge in beautiful coffees and cakes so easily! We feel this cottage is a real find and cant wait to return. 5 stars from us. Hide

A well proportioned and appointed property. Plenty of space in the living areas downstairs. Main lights allow for good lighting while the lamps allow for a cosier setting in the evenings. The bedrooms have been designed to make best use of the space considering being built into the roof space. The skylights are a welcome addition upstairs allowing Read morefor natural light making this a beautiful space. GCH and a good shower were a welcome plus after a long day exploring and rainy days as was the convenience of the washing machine. It was also a pleasant surprise to find that the house was only a 20 minute stroll from our favourite pub and brewery on the broads The Fur and Feather at Woodfordes Brewery. Exploring the broads and surrounding areas from Salhouse was perfect. Thank you for providing us with lovely stay Hide
